We wanted some time out after busy Christmas period and so booked Rock Lobster cottage from Boxing Day for 3 days.
The cottage was lovely, clean and everything that you could possibly need had been provided...not just for us but for our dogs too! A secure and fenced garden was an added bonus for the dogs.
The rooms were bright, warm and welcoming and the kitchen had a little basket of treats...just in case we hadn't eaten enough over Christmas!
The beach is a 5 minute walk away and we enjoyed our early morning strolls when the tide was out.

Just returned from a relaxing stay at Rock Lobster . What a lovely place , cosy and comfortable , and dog friendly . Beds and settee excellent quality , it's obvious a lot of care and attention has been taken . Great location , very quiet, short walk to the beach , which our two dogs enjoyed...local pub very welcoming. The walk into Rye is well worth it, it really is a lovely place for a holiday or short break.
Carol is lovely to deal with, from booking and all the way through , would highly recommend this cottage, we are looking forward to returning.

1 review This was our second stay at this lovely family and pet-friendly cottage by the sea at Camber Sands. Carol always ensures the Rock Lobster is kept in immaculate condition and the cottage has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Rock Lobster for the first week of the school holidays with our children age 3 and 6. This was a great base to access the beautiful sandy beach at Camber and was easy to get to from the train station at Rye (15 minute taxi journey).
The house was nicely decorated and well kept, and perfect for a family of four. Everything had been thought of, from the wide selection of children's games and books (my son enjoyed learning to play Scrabble) to the wind break and buckets and spades in the shed. The scones and jam on arrival were an unexpected bonus and tasted delicious.
Camber itself is quite quiet, but perfect for a lazy beach break. The stunning beach is 5-10 minutes walk away over the dunes. You would probably need a car to get out and about to visit the nearby attractions, but the bus to Rye runs from almost outside Rock Lobster and is definitely worth a visit - make sure you stop at Knoops for a hot chocolate!
We'd thoroughly recommend a stay at Rock Lobster.

I am pleased you found all the children's equipment, games and beach kit and caboodle helpful. So much easier when you don't have to bring absolutely everything with you.

Well appointed house. Comfortable beds. All very clean. Dog friendly, our dog loved the beach. Delicious welcoming scones and home made jam. House tastefully decorated and nice patio to relax on. Rock Lobster is on a very attractive estate which was very quiet.
Short walk over the road to clean, sandy beach. Lovely dunes.
Good restaurant only minutes away called 'Gallivant'. Lovely garden to enjoy a drink in.
Went to see Derek Jarman's garden at Dungeness which was beautiful.

We travelled to Camber Sands for a family wedding in the Galivant which is just a few minutes walk from Rock Lobster, which was great as we had young children with us.
The house itself was beautifully decorated and very well maintained. It was just perfect for a family of 4. Carol has thought of everything that clients might need for their stay at Rock Lobster. There was lots of games and books for the children to enjoy so they never got bored but what they loved best was Oscar the Owl (he's felt!) they had a great time with him and took him out and about and even to the wedding!
Rock Lobster is very well located with just a few minutes walk to the beach and the local amenities. I would definitely recommend it as a place to stay if you have a wedding in the Galivant, or even just for a break away. We had a fantastic time and my boys were very sad leaving!

This was perfect for our family. The house was well kept and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our mini break. Carol is very helpful as was Jamie from the welcoming team and the scones, jam etc were a lovely added bonus! The dunes are great fun and kept everyone amused for hours. Ideally located to explore the surrounding area....we look forward to returning soon. Many thanks
